SC restrains Kerala vigilante groups from killing stray dogs

The Supreme Court has restrained vigilante groups in Kerala from imparting training to children and distributing air guns to the people at a subsidised rate to kill stray dogs. It has also restrained the state to publicly propagating that there is a fight against canines in the state. <br/><br/>A bench of Justices Dipak Misra and Amitava Roy yesterday said it failed to understand as to how such groups could be formed to eliminate stray dogs when there is a law to deal with the issue.<br/><br/>The bench also took note of the submissions of Kerala's counsel who said that the state government was making immense efforts to curtail spread of stray dogs and it was trying to ensure that no canines attack human beings.
